Shrinkable &amp; adjustable multi-functional TV

ABSTRACT

A shrinkable and adjustable multi-functional TV includes a display, a support device, a shrinkable and angle adjusting device. The display has a mirror on its rear side, and an LCD screen on a front side, pivotally received in an interior of a U-shaped frame of the support device and by means of a tightening button respectively threadably combined with two sides of the U-shaped frame and with two sides of the display so that the display can be turned for an angle and also turned over. The support device has its lower end pivotally connected with a first free end of the shrinkable and angle adjusting device, which has its second end pivotally connected to a suspended arm base fixed on a wall, a foot frame or a chair. Thus the TV can be shrunk for altering its viewing angle and position.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a TV, particularly provided with an LCD screenon a front side of a display and a mirror on a rear side of the display,and its viewing angle adjustable and with the display possible to beturned over so that the mirror can be altered to be located at the frontside and used. Moreover, the display can be adjusted to move nearer to awall surface where the TV is supported by a suspended arm base fixed onthe wall surface and pivotally combined with a shrinkable and angleadjusting device (or the suspended arm).

2. Description of the Prior Art

Nowadays, an LCD TV has become popular, as they have a lightweight andlittle radiation. A conventional LCD TV shown in FIG. 1 is composed ofan LCD screen 1, a frame 2 and a support base 3. The LCD screen 1 isfitted in preset grooves of the frame 2, which is then pivotallyconnected to the support base 3, permitting the LCD TV to sit on atable.

However, the conventional LCD TV has only one viewing angle, as thescreen 1 is positioned immovable, hardly satisfying various viewingangles of consumers.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention has been devised to offer a shrinkable and adjustablemulti-functional TV.

The features of the invention are a display, a support device, and ashrinkable and angle adjustable device. The display has an LCD screen onits front side, and a mirror on its rear side, pivotally supported in aninterior of a U-shaped frame of the support device, so the display canbe turned for an angle and also turned over to use the LCD screen or themirror optionally by means of a tightening button respectively combiningthe two sides of the U-shaped frame with two sides of the display. TheU-shaped frame has its lower side pivotally connected to a first freeend of the shrinkable and angle adjustable device (or a suspended arm),which has a second end pivotally connected to a suspended arm base by atubular member, with the suspended arm base fixed on a wall surface.Then the shrinkable and angle adjusting device enables the distancebetween the display and the wall surface shrunk or expanded and theviewing angle altered. The mirror is also added with a switch forturning it on or off.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A first embodiment of a shrinkable and adjustable multi-functional TVwith two side screens, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, includes a suspendingarm base 10, a shrinkable and angle adjusting device (or a suspendedarm) 20, a support device 30, and a display 40 as main componentscombined together.

The suspending arm base 10 is provided with plural fasten holes 11 atpreset locations, plural fasten elements 12 crewing with the fastenholes 11 respectively and further threadably moving in a wall, and atubular base 13 is fixed on an intermediate surface of the suspendingarm base 10.

The shrinkable angle adjusting device (or a suspended arm) 20 consistsof a first arm 21 and a second arm 22, and the first arm 21 has a firstend pivotally connected to the tubular base 13, and a second endpivotally connected to a first end of the second arm 22.

The support device 30 is composed of an upright support arm 31 and aU-shaped frame 32. The upright support arm 31 has its lower endpivotally connected to a second end of the second arm 22, and its upperend fixed with an intermediate portion of a lower side of the U-shapedframe 32. The U-shaped frame 32 has two parallel upright sides withtheir upper end provided threadably with a tightening button 33.

The display 40 is pivotally combined inside the U-shaped frame 32, withtwo side walls threadably combined with the tightening buttons 33,composed of a frame 41, an LCD screen 42 positioned on a front surface,a mirror 43, a convex lens 45 and a lighting member 44 with a switch 441positioned on a rear surface. The lightening member 44 is an LED.

Next, as shown in Figs, the display 40 is pivotally fitted in theU-shaped frame 32 of the support device 30, so it is possible to beeasily turned over together with the U-shaped frame 32 to let the LCDscreen on the front surface of the display 40 interchange with themirror 43 on the rear surface of the display 40 for viewing by means ofthe two fastening buttons 33, in addition to the viewing angle of thedisplay 40 able also to be adjusted by pushing with the fasteningbuttons 33 functioning as pivots. Moreover, the angle between the firstarm 21 and the second arm 22 of the shrinking and angle adjusting device20 can be altered, lengthening or shrinking the distance between thesuspended arm base 10 and the display 40 also possible to be altered inits angle and location. If the mirror 43 is to be used, the display 40is turned over for 180 degrees, and if the light is too dim, the switch441 can be turned on to light up the lightening member 44.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a shrinkable and adjustablemulti-functional TV, which is to be combined with a headrest 50 of achair of an automobile, by the second end of the first arm 21 pivotallyconnected in the headrest 50, with the second arm 22 and the suspendedarm base 10 not needed. Then when the multi-functional TV is not to beused, it can be shrunk and hidden in the headrest 50, and pulled out ofthe headrest 50 to the preset location in case it is to be used.

As can be understood from the foresaid description, the invention has anadvantage that the rear side of the screen can be fitted with the mirror43 and the lightening member 441 for watching TV or for making up, withthe angle and the location of the LCD screen 42 or the mirror 43adjustable for convenience of watching.

While the preferred embodiments have been described above, it will berecognized and understood that various modifications may be made thereinand the appended claims are intended to cover all such modificationsthat may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
